It looks like a 2D graph, so I'm reasonably certain it's comparing only two of the replicates. Each point represents the read counts for a single gene in the two replicates.

I think I figured it out.
According to the paper, they performed 5 technical replicates on a brain sample.
That means they performed the RNA-seq library build and sequencing on the same brain sample five times.
So for example, if gene X has the following number of reads that aligned
Replicate 1, 152 reads aligned
Replicate 2, 127 reads aligned
Replicate 3, 98 reads aligned
Replicate 4, 173 reads aligned
Replicate 5, 111 reads aligned
The following 20 points are plotted on the graph
(152,127),(152,98),(152,173),(152,111)
(127,152),(127,98),(127,173),(127,111)
(173,152),(173,127),(173,98),(173,111)
(111,152),(111,127),(111,98),(111,173)
(98,152),(98,127),(98,173),(98,111)
So basically this graph shows that the fewer reads that map to a gene, the less reliable the data.

Easy question from a noobie
Can someone please explain figure 2 "Scatterplots of Technical Replicates of Brain Sample" in the paper below?
The x and y axis are both labeled the same "Number of aligned reads (log scale), Brain".

Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...-

Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...-
